“Who’s outside making noise? Do you have no manners?” said Fang Lin quite rudely.

“Hmmph, a mere low-ranking disciple of the Pill Sect, daring to lecture me, Wang Zhen, about manners? Absolutely ridiculous!” A very arrogant voice came from outside the courtyard, filled with mockery for Fang Lin.

Fang Lin laughed out of anger, wondering why this arrogant individual came to knock on his door. Didn’t he have anything better to do?

“Look here, Wang, I don’t know you. Quit your hollering, aren’t you annoying?” Fang Lin impatiently replied.

Outside of Fang Lin’s courtyard, a tall and skinny young man dressed in a red robe looked increasingly angry at Fang Lin’s words.

“Fang Lin, you better come out and see me, or don’t blame me for being disrespectful,” Wang Zhen suppressed his rage and threatened.

“Screw off! If you dare, break through the door and let’s see if you have the guts. If not, stop babbling here, it’s embarrassing!” Fang Lin shot back, without courtesy.

Just as Wang Zhen was about to angrily kick down the courtyard door, reason told him that he absolutely shouldn’t do that.

Grinding his teeth, Wang Zhen ultimately resisted from kicking the door.

It wasn’t that Wang Zhen didn’t want to, but that he could not do so.

If he were to kick the door down, while it may be satisfying in the moment, the consequences would be severe.

As a disciple of the Martial Sect, coming to the Pill Sect and arrogantly kicking down a Pill Sect disciple’s door was against the rules of the Purple Mist Sect.

The Pill Sect elders could immediately suppress him.

No matter how many reasons you could come up with, none of them make such behavior acceptable.

Similarly, if a Pill Sect disciple went to the Martial Sect and kicked down a door, they would also be ruthlessly suppressed by the Martial Sect elders.

Though loosley controlled by rage, Wang Zhen wasn’t foolish enough to commit such provocative acts.

“Fang Lin, I came to find you for pill refining, but you hide yourself. This doesn’t seem to conform to the practice of the Pill Sect does it?” Wang Zhen asked coldly.

Fang Lin laughed, his voice muffled by the courtyard door, “Is there a rule in the Pill Sect that says I must open my door just because a disciple from the Martial Sect comes? What if you wanted to harm me? Now, I suspect you’re really up to no good.”

Wang Zhen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had known that Fang Lin was arrogant, but he should have been more subtle from the beginning to avoid this situation where he couldn’t even enter the door.

“If that’s the case, I apologize to you first, ” Wang Zhen forcefully dampened his discomfort.

Fang Lin didn’t respond.

Wang Zhen waited for a while, seeing that Fang Lin still hadn’t made a sound, he asked, “Fang Lin, I have already apologized, won’t you open the door now?”

The door opened slightly, and Fang Lin’s head stuck out from the crack. He looked at Wang Zhen for a moment.

“So you’re Wang Zhen?” asked Fang Lin, frowning.

Wang Zhen nodded, sneering silently, pleased that Fang Lin finally opened the door.

At this moment, Wang Zhen managed to squeeze out a smile, saying, “Fang

Lin, you finally agreed to see me.”

Fang Lin snorted and opened the door fully, saying, “Who said I agreed? I just came out because you refused to leave. I wondered what you were really up to.”

Laughing awkwardly, Wang Zhen said, “I naturally came to ask Brother Fang to refine pills for me. I’ve heard that your alchemy technique is not inferior to those high-ranking disciples, so I couldn’t help but come to seek confirmation. Little did I expect, your loftiness would make it hard for me to even see you, Brother Fang. ”

With a cold smile, Fang Lin stared at Wang Zhen without speaking, as if to say, you’re pretty good at talking nonsense.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Fang Lin’s stare, Wang Zhen forced a smile, saying, “I wonder if Brother Fang could concoct a batch of Bone Tempering Pills for me? If you already have some in stock, you could sell them to me directly.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin calmly replied, “I’m out of Bone Tempering Pills.”

Wang Zhen didn’t seem to mind and continued smiling, “Then I’ll ask Brother

Fang to concoct new batch. I’ll come for them in three days.”

Fang Lin shook his head, saying, “Three days won’t be enough, and I’ve run out of ingredients for the Bone Tempering Pill.”

Hearing this, the forced smile fell from Wang Zhen’s face, and he asked, “So, Brother Fang, are you refusing me?”

Fang Lin nodded, clearly indicating his refusal.

Finally dropping all pretenses, Wang Zhen revealed a smirk, saying, “Are you aware of the consequences of refusing me, Wang Zhen, Fang Lin?”

Fang Lin crossed his arms and replied, “What could possibly happen? Are you going to eat me?”

Wang Zhen snorted, glancing at Fang Lin contemptuously, “I am a top-ranking Martial Sect disciple. If I say the word, I don’t believe any Martial Sect disciple will come here in ten days. If I report that you are selling pills privately to Pill Pavilion, you wouldn’t dare to step into the Martial Sect again.”

A threat!

After a glance at Wang Zhen, Fang Lin instantly realized that he was up to no good. Fang Lin had never met this man before and held no grudges against him. It was likely that someone was stirring up trouble behind his back, or Wang Zhen was here on behalf of someone else.

Fang Lin was not concerned with his threats, but if Wang Zhen were to report him for selling pills privately to the Pill Pavilion, it would be troublesome indeed.

Although selling pills privately was not an atrocious offense, it clearly affected the interests of the Pill Pavilion. While the Pavilion may not severely punish him, his actions would definitely attract their scrutiny, making it hard for him to escape their surveillance.

This was clearly an outcome that Fang Lin was reluctant to face.

Seeing that Fang Lin had fallen silent, Wang Zhen thought he had scared him and sneered coldly, “I don’t wish to make things difficult for you. If you have any Bone Tempering Pills, just give them all to me. If not, just make a batch for me.”

Fang Lin’s expression remained neutral, and he suddenly looked over to a point just behind Wang Zhen.

“Hm? Why is she coming this way?” murmured Fang Lin.

Wang Zhen was taken aback and was about to lose his temper when he heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Upon turning his head, Wang Zhen paled and quickly bowed his head.

The newcomer was a woman in a pale blue dress, her graceful walk resembled a beautiful painting come to life.

It was Han Yinyue!

Wang Zhen kept his head bowed down, not daring to look at Han Yinyue. He was rather nervous, and upon noticing that Fang Lin was staring at Han Yinyue, he couldn’t help but curse Fang Lin for being an idiot.

“Miss Han hates it when people stare at her. I can’t wait to see how you, Fang Lin, get into trouble!” Wang Zhen’s heart was filled with cold laughter, thinking that Fang Lin was incredibly stupid.

“Fang Lin, I haven’t thanked you for last time,” said Han Yinyue, who had come close. She was smiling softly, seemingly not noticing Wang Zhen, and spoke to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin chuckled and said, “It’s an honor that Miss Han has come to thank an insignificant disciple like me.”

Han Yinyue slowly smiled, but Fang Lin could still perceive a subtle touch of melancholy between her brows..
